“If your dreams don’t scare you, they are not big enough.” – Gustavo Gasca

Last month, Pender County welcomed former Pender High School alumnus Gustavo Gasca, who spoke with students about his journey to becoming a dentist and opening his own practice. He shared valuable insight on the importance of hard work, perseverance, and setting big goals. We are grateful for his time and for giving back to inspire the next generation of Juntos students!
